Ruins in Central Africa.

Some way sonth of the Zambesi River
there is a large rngion, extending nearly
400 miles inland, and 300 TO 400 miles
toward the south, in which ruins are
constantly being discovered, proving that
in prehistoric times the country was in
habited by civilized people. To-day
only the rudest black tribes inhabit this
land, save in q few places, where the
Portuguese have established stations
The little beehive huts of the natives are
seen among massive ruins, betokening a
degree of architectural skill which rivals
that of the ancient Aztecs. Our knowl-
edge of these ruins is still far from per-
feet. Our earliest records of travel and
trade on the East African coast, extend
ing back to the beginning of the Chris
tan era, do not mention them. The
coast town of Sofala is shown on all
maps of East Africa. Near that town
Carl Mauch found extensive ruins, re-
markable for their enduring nature and
strange shapes. There are partly-ruined
walls still 30 feet high and IL feet wide
at the base, built of small hewn blocks of
granite. Here and there, built in the
walls or standing by themselves, are
round stone towers, which evidestly
rose tb nights Of 30 to 50 feet.
1t is not positively known who built
these ancient structures. All these rains
are surrounded by surface gold mines
1t is believed that all this country
was occupied some time before the Chris
tian era by great colony, probably Of
PhGnician origin, and that its chiel oc-
cupation was gold mining. Mr.. 0'Seil
says that large region in inner Africa
now given up to savage men and wild
beasts was subject many centuries ago

The Shah,s Rear Hunt.

Our old friend, the Shah of Persia, has
very nearly come to grief in endeavoring
TO prove his proves as a Nimrod. A
fortnight ago, while engaged in a grand
bear hunt in the district of Toschan-
Tepeh, two bears, evidently possessed by
neither a due sense of respect for the
Shah nor of the rules of the royal hunt
game, simultaneously attacked Nassr-ed-
Din. His Imperial Highness, thus taken
on either flank, would have inevitably
succumbed to the attack, but for the
plucdy interference of an attendant, who
rushed successfully to therescue. With the
lavish generosity of an Eastern potentate
the Shah promptly made his res
cuer Governor of q province, which, let
us hope, will not prove, as too often is the
case in Persia, a short cut TO the bow
string. CHICAGO Herald.

Journey of a Bank Note.

One of the reasons why silver coins are
defaeed with initials and names are writ
ten on so many bank notes is that thu
people want TO find out whether the
particular coin or bill will ever come
back into their possession after once
more getting into general circulation. 1t
is an interesting experiment A Sun re-
porter tried it, with a curious result.
One evening in 1884 he wrote the three
initials of o friends name on 81 bank
note in the presence of the friend. One
day recently the friend went to a coal
Office to pay for some coal, and got three
81 bills in change for the so rendered

Frances War Pigeons.

General Boulanger, the French War
Minister, has recently given prizes to
the best trainers of carrier pigeons in the
Department of the Seine. Pigeon-train-
ing in France has become branch of the
military service, and plenty of we'll
trained birds are to be found in the costly
and beautiful little establishments that
have been built for them. They are
furnished with modern improvements and
Injuries that vulgar and ignorant pigeons
could never appreciate. Among the
pigeons now IN the possession Of the
Government are several veterans of the
siege of Paris, and one among them is a
genuine old hero. In 1870 this bird was
taken up in the Paris balloon called
Niepce, and was captured by the
Prussians. Prince Frederick Charles
sent him as present to his mother, the
Princess Charles of Prussia, who put him
among her own collection of birds, where
he was treated with all possible kindness.
But he was patriot The bitter bread
of exile did not agree with him. He
flew away and reached his home in
pigeon-house in the Boulevard Clichy.
The owner of this establishment handed
him over to the military authorities, and
he is now once more in the service of his
native country, and doubtless hopes to
win additional glory in the future.
